How to search for a 2024 thread on this NSBR forum, anyone? YDD is looking for a bigger, better smart TV and I remember seeing a thread on that not too long ago. HELP!
TIA

My 40 is end of July...I haven't been since the 20.
I'm going, mainly because I haven't been home in ten years...and because FB rekindled a few friendships that have been entertaining. I'm ignoring the people that are continuing their bad behavior online, because clearly nothing has changed. It's a picnic at the state park first with five years worth of graduates, and then our class is meeting at restaurant for dinner later that day.
Doesn't hurt that its in So Cal and I am staying with my brother and his family.

Not really. I’ve gone to one high school (graduated in 82) and no College.
I am still in touch and get together with friends from those times (grade school friends) so I still see people. I still live close and my parents still live there. Many people are still in the area and/or come home and visit family, so I often see people I haven’t seen in a long time just randomly while out and about. Just not into the reunions. 🤷🏻♀️😄

Nope, no desire whatsoever.
I'm not in contact with anyone either other than my husband and his brother lol. One good friend passed away years ago but we had already lost touch. And my best friend from school, well that's a long story but I cut contact with her. I used to occasionally run into people and would chat, but it's been years since I've seen anyone. Though granted, I'm not sure I would recognize people at this point!
Dh occasionally sees/works with a few people as he's a builder and he uses some as subcontractors. But that's it, not socially.
I was super shy in school and had few friends and just never kept in contact with people. When FB came around I had FB "friends" but never really interacted with most and eventually unfriended them along with a bunch of other people that I just didn't interact with.
Between that and just not being very shy and having social anxiety, especially in large groups, I will almost certainly never attend one.

No, I haven't been to any. I just didn't develop relationships then and don't really have a desire to reconnect with anyone from that time. I'm in touch with 4 or 5 people from high school but we aren't close.

I went to my 20th's (free!) pre-reunion the night before the actual event. It was tolerable but, as expected, mostly popular people so not anyone I was friendly with or would care if I showed up. I also attended my 25th's "anti"-reunion after a small number of us were very unhappy that a homophobic racist sexist classmate with a public platform and career based on those values was on the planning committee. I doubt that I will attend any other ones for a long while.

I hated going to high school and have only kept in contact (sort of) with one person, who was my bff back then. Haven't talked with her in a few years though. Honestly, if I never do again, not a huge loss. I moved away a year after high school, and, although my family still lives literally in the same neighborhood as I lived in when I was in high school, I wouldn't attend a reunion even if I happened to be visiting when it occurred. My "hometown" was very much cliquey- even the adults pretty much moved in neighborhood and church circles. My last name was mispronounced at commencement (by my 10th grade home room teacher), after having been at the relatively small school (graduating class of about 60 people) for 4 years. It was a nice moment to wince and be reminded how much those 4 years really just sucked and I was more than ready to move on. My last name is uncommon and not an easy one to pronounce if you don't know it- other than it is similar to alot of the people in the town. This was mostly a town of first, second and third generation Italian (or Greek or Polish) people- where my parents grew up. If I were reading the names at commencement, I would make a point to check my pronunciations. This was just a cherry on top of a million other ways I was overlooked and neglected by the adults in the school. Never once in 4 years did I interact with a guidance counselor, no one ever talked with me about college. Or show any concern about my well being. I was a straight A student that cut school more than I was in school. Interestingly, both of my siblings that still live in the town don't interact with a single soul I went to high school with (based on social media.) It has remained THAT cliquey. No thanks. I have plenty of people in my life that I enjoy spending time with. The world is a huge, and beautiful place with so many better places to spend my time, and they can keep being the Kardashian's of their little crap town  |

Nope.. none of them, graduated in 91. Didn't hang out with the ones that went when we were in school, haven't talked to them since, ain't paying money and time to be bragged to/ignored by/or talked about later by them now
Also don't go to the random get togethers a group I graduated with has.

My fortieth is this year and even the popular kids have no desire to plan anything.  Zero desire to attend regardless. 1984, the year of class apathy, lol. |
